"95 is yours... 2000 is mine" (c) Group Home


Have you ever been asked: If you could go back in time, where would you go?
You ever heard people say they would go back and change some big historical event... like take out Hitler before he got into power or something like that? Well as noble as it would be to do something like... there are a few problem with that thinking. The first is that I don't think it would be that easy to just change something like. Secondly, you have to deal with the Back To The Future Factor.

What is the Back To The Future Factor you might ask? Well if you are a fan of the movie trilogy with same title... you would know that this is basically the idea that one small change in the past can drastically change the future. So again, as noble as it would be to change history for the better... it could seriously fuck up your life in the future.

That is why my answer to this question is really simple... i would go to two times in history and do nothing more than observe. The first would the Gaza Plateau in Egypt around the time the pyramids were built... just to see the process. I just want to see exactly how they were built with such accuracy.

The second time in history would be Minneapolis, MN circa 1983/1984... just to stand in First Avenue and watch Prince & The Revolution perform. You can watch Purple Rain 10 million times and it wouldn't have the same impact as standing in that club and watching that magic happen live. Plus just to see the vibe in First Avenue would be fresh.

See... nothing changed... the future would still be the same when i returned.... hahahaha
